Surname: Walker
-------------------------
I am still looking for my John P. Walker b. in NY 1828. Here is his obit:
From the Northeastern Nevada Genealogical Society publication the
Chart
& Quill obit extract:
John P. Walker . Born 1828 in Rome N.Y.. in 1861 came to Carson & worked
for the Overland Stage Company. in 1862 moved to Jacobsville near Austin
[Nevada], to Lamoille Valley in 1865. elected sheriff of Lander Co., in
1868. Leaves a widow, 1 son, & 4 daughters. "May the old pioneer rest peacefully
beneath the sod of the county he helped to build."
I understand he may have some relatives still living in the Elko area and
would love to hear from them.
Any help finding his siblings or parents in New York would be greatly appreciated,
Jake Maxwell
